Intro

I began contributing to Wikipedia on 4th June 2013, and I’m based in Gloucester, England. My interests are quite varied, ranging from 3D printing and astronomy to architecture (with a particular fondness for historical buildings), computers, and science fiction. I’m especially passionate about TV shows such as Doctor Who, Sliders, and Star Trek. My fascination with time travel and the Multiverse began in the late ’90s and early ’00s after watching Sliders for the first time. These days, I’m diving deeper into books on subjects like Quantum Mechanics and the Many-worlds interpretation, I view the world through the lens of 'What Ifs' and 'Maybes,' contemplating what could occur in an alternate reality.

Outside of Wikipedia, I enjoy keeping active through swimming and walking.

I have dyspraxia and epilepsy, which shape how I approach my editing here. Over the years, I’ve contributed to a wide range of topics, from astronomy to sports. I'm a member of several WikiProjects: WikiProject Architecture, which I joined on 7th May 2024, WikiProject Astronomy on the 18th July 2016 and WikiProject Gloucestershire, which I joined on the 3rd March 2017. Although I recently discovered the project is currently inactive, I’m keen to help revive it—particularly by creating and improving articles related to Gloucester and refreshing the main page.

While I’ve edited articles on computer gaming (though I don’t focus much on gaming these days) and political topics like the UK elections, my current focus is on my personal interests and hobbies. I’ve taken breaks from editing at times, but my enthusiasm for improving Wikipedia remains as strong as ever. I love crafting new articles and refining existing ones. I’ve also uploaded some images here, although it’s been a while since my last upload.

I’ve created two userboxes and looking forward to contributing to Wikipedia portals, starting with a new WikiProject Gloucestershire portal. My plan is to create several navboxes that reflect my interests, which I believe will help me organise and enhance coverage of these topics on Wikipedia. I really love how navboxes connect related articles and make it easier for readers to navigate, so I’m thrilled to develop these for Gloucestershire and other subjects now and in the near future.
